Archers 13th in state meet, qualify
teams for nationals in May
In a setting that was as awe inspiring as it was intimidating, the Harrison County High School and Middle School archery teams competed in the KHSAA and NASP tournaments in Louisville on March 19.
The event, which had 4,093 competitors from around the state, featured elementary, middle and high school competition. The Harrison County elementary students competed on the middle school squad due to some KHSAA rules.

Harrison County began defense of the 38th District baseball title Thursday afternoon with a 10-0 win over district rival Pendleton County.
The Breds were never threatened in this five-inning affair as pitchers Jordan Riley, the starter, Nolan Brossart and John King allowed only two hits to the Wildcats.
Pendleton County only got two runners past first base in the game and none farther than second.
Harrison County struck with two runs in the second on the first of King’s three hits, this one a two-run homer.

Ron Markley and Austin Dacci are in their first year as head coaches of the Harrison County High School tennis teams.
Dacci is coaching the Fillies and Markley the Thorobreds as they enter into the tennis season.
Last week was the first week of competition and already the coaches like what they see in the young but somewhat experienced squad.
The Thorobreds have the bare minimum number of players, but Markley doesn’t see that as a real problem.

The Harrison County Track team began the quest to return in large numbers to the state meet in Louisville on Saturday as they competed in the Woodford County All Comers in Versailles.
The Fillies had some excellent performances, especially in the hurdles and relays along with good performances in some of the field events.
Coach Danny Simpson noted, “We were blessed by warm weather in the ‘Luck of the Irish Meet’ especially considering the preparation that we have been able to work in. The cold has hamstrung our preparation time.”

There are more than 119 teams playing in a post season tournament of some kind beginning this Tuesday.
Among these teams, three have an overall losing record. The worst of these is Liberty of the Big South Conference who won their conference tournament and enters the NCAA tournament with a 15-20 record.
Texas of the Big 12 and Purdue of the Big Ten are the two others with losing marks. They are both playing in the third tier tournament the College Basketball Invitational or the CBI.
